Fight Rape and Gender Based Violence in the Congo

-

Following years of conflict and poverty, the Democratic Republic of Congo experiences some of the most extreme sexual violence in the world. This epidemic has torn apart the lives of thousands of women and girls, who are most vulnerable and suffer the most rape and abuse.

There are people and programs working to end this epidemic and bring hope to survivors by raising awareness, educating communities and changing laws.

We CAN change the culture of rape and gender based violence around the world -- from our own communities to the farthest corners of the globe, but only if our leaders make it a priority to support programs that empower women and help survivors of rape and gender based violence get the help they need.

Take action today: Tell Congress to support vital programs to fight rape and gender based violence in the Congo and around the world!

Are Tax Cuts for Millionaires and Billionaires Change You Can Believe In?

-

 I have never been more disappointed in a political figure than I am with Barack Obama.  Even Bill Clinton's dalliances which cost him his best governing years and cynical votes from Democratic senators on the Iraq War authorization do not equal the perplexing disappointment that is Barack Obama's tax policy and his complete lack of gumption to fight to do the right and moral thing.  I say Barack Obama's tax policy because he now owns it.  He did not extend the Bush tax breaks; they die this Jan 1.  These tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires are now his to own.  

Whatever Happened to "Yes We Can"?

Like so many Americans, I was caught up in the promise and hope that Barack Obama represented.  As the first African American with a real shot at the Presidency, he already had a good deal of good will and the hope of a people on his side.   His soaring oratory and apparent strength of conviction added to the allure of a President who would usher in a new era. After 8 years of a historically bad and unjust Presidency, Americans were hungry for significant change.
